Alison Waters and Mark Cowley of Southgate Squash Club both came away with titles at the British National Squash Championships held at Sportcity in Manchester last weeked.  Alison won the Women’s Title and Mark the Men’s Over 55 event.

Both matches will probably go down as the most exciting of the thirteen finals that took place that day, with Alison (World Number 5) and Mark both finding themseleves with ‘Match Ball’ down at various times.  Mark (England Over 55 No 1) was actually 2-0 down in games and 6-1 down in points and clawed his way back to win in what must have been one of the biggest ‘comebacks’ of the tournament. 

The Walker Ground Trustees and membership would like to congratulate Mark and Alison on their terrfiic achievements.

A fantastic sunny day at The Walker Ground welcomed over 50 to 60 netball players / umpires / spectators for the first full use of their 2 new resurfaced netball courts for the first annual Walker Netball Rally.

Even though there was insufficient juniors to run the separate Walker Junior Tournament this year – many juniors joined the adult teams and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and experience with their club team mates in the Main Walker Cup.

Oakwood Dolly Mixtures fielded not only a Mother and Daughter duo – but also Grandmother and Grand daughter too! They had plenty of support from their main Oakwood team on the sidelines.

Other teams from in and around London enjoyed the playing surface –  with games played on a league basis, followed by placing play-offs – culminating with semi finals between Oakwood and Pink Ladies plus Minchenden and Falcons.

Finalists Oakwood and Falcons had a very close deciding match with only one goal separating them during most of the game. Final score 9-8 to Falcons.

Thanks to all the teams, players, umpires, captains and spectators – hope to see you all next year. Keep watching www.thewalkerground.co.uk for all event details. Contact Lynda.Colt@thewalkerground.co.uk for hiring details.
